West Ham picked an attacking side for their top of the table clash at Southampton this evening.
The Hammers kept faith with John Carew and Sam Baldock in attack after their three goals in the 4-0 win over Blackpool at the weekend.
Sam Allardyce was forced into a change at the back with a groin injury for James Tomkins leading to a start at centre-back for Abdoulaye Faye.
Henri Lansbury was rested at the weekend but he returned to the side in place of Saturday's goalscorer Jack Collison.
League leaders Southampton's only change was Dean Hammond starting in place of Jack Cork.
